Brucebo is an artists' estate located in Själsö, Väskinde on Gotland, Sweden. It was created by the artist couple William Blair Bruce and his wife Carolina Benedicks-Bruce. The estate is a testament to their artistic legacy and is now a nature reserve and an art museum managed by the Brucebo Foundation.
The Brucebo estate is located 8 km north of Visby. Between 1900 and 1906, the couple expanded the small main house on the estate. The house was built in the neo-romantic style of the early 1900s, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the time.
In 2009, the Brucebo Foundation began work to convert the main house into a museum. The museum opened in 2012 and is now open to pre-booked groups of visitors. It offers a unique opportunity to explore the artistic legacy of William Blair Bruce and Carolina Benedicks-Bruce.
In 1970, the Brucebo estate was established as a nature reserve. The Brucebo nature reserve is primarily located in Visby, with a small part belonging to Väskinde socken. It is often described as a "miniature Gotland" as it represents all the different types of landscapes found on the island.
